Inheriting the Script from Our Original Family: How to Move Forward Without Internal Strife in the Parents Palace
To be honest, in this day and age, it's impossible to talk about growth without touching on the word "family."
Today, the energy in the Parents Palace is focused on reminding us: the workplace bottleneck or wealth anxiety you think you are facing has likely been seeded long before you turned three. It sounds mystical, but the deeper you dig inward, the more you realize that it's not about your lack of ability; it's just that the logic of surviving by pleasing others is too deep and too heavy.
Observing the recent groups of friends who have come for consultation, there is a common pattern: they appear shiny on the outside but are incredibly drained on the inside. They often say, "I feel like I’m working so hard... but I don’t know for what." This confusion is likely related to the Parents Palace being blocked by stars, especially today, as the energy of Wu Xu enters the palace, igniting many suppressed events.
So how do we handle this? Let's first understand the characteristics of the palace at this time. Today's energy feels like a form of internal martial law. You may have developed an attitude of "I can’t take it anymore, but I have to endure" towards your parents, bosses, or seniors, with your heart filled with old accounts and suppressed emotions.
I resonate with this. If you were required to be quiet, obedient, and not embarrass the adults when you were young, then when facing authority now, you might choose to remain silent while internally collapsing. This habitual obedience flowing from the Parents Palace not only prevents you from seeing what you truly want but also makes you miss opportunities to speak up for yourself.
In fact, many may not know that true "changing fate" is not about worshiping gods or pasting talismans, but about repairing "how you treat your parental roles." This parent does not necessarily refer to the ones who gave birth to you, but rather: the authoritative phantom that constrains you in your heart. You need to ask yourself: "Am I afraid of being denied because that child is still controlling me?"
Today's advice is simple but requires courage. Please find a night when you won’t be disturbed, and write a letter to your parents, or rather, to that role that makes you feel unable to be yourself. Write down all your dissatisfaction, regrets, and pain; there’s no need to send it. After writing, you can burn it or tear it up. This is a release and also a severance.
When you begin to let the internal parent no longer control you, true growth will start. Don’t be afraid of being alone, and even more so, don’t be afraid of arguments, because even if you don’t speak up, internal strife is already tormenting you. Using the controlling energy of the Parents Palace to affirm your own self is the only way to transform external "filial piety" into internal "loyalty to oneself."
